We're now learning more about the attack on anti-racist protesters that took place yesterday afternoon in Charlottesville, Virginia, as both the attacker and the lone victim killed in the attack have been identified.
As you'll remember our reporting yesterday, graphic video was released of a Dodge Challenger car deliberately driving into protesters at a peaceful anti-racist rally in the Virginia city, injuring more than 20 people.

Now, we know that the person killed by the domestic terror attack was 32-year-old Virginia native Heather Heyer, a woman who had been working as a paralegal with a local law firm.
Police confirmed Heyer was struck while crossing the street with other counter-protesters.
As for the man behind the wheel who perpetrated the terror attack, police have arrested 20-year-old James Fields Jr., who had initially sped away from the attack and gone free. He is facing multiple charges, including second-degree murder.
Fields, a registered Republican who reportedly had long been obsessed with Nazis, appears to have been an avowed white supremacist and stood alongside members of the Vanguard America hate group during the rally that day.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Heyer, as well as with all the injured victims in the attack that are still recovering in the hospital and at home.
Fields -- along with all other Nazis, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and racist bigots -- can go fuck himself.

Heather Heyer may be gone, but she won't be silenced.
That's one thing the mother of the 32-year-old -- who was killed on Saturday when a car plowed into a crowd of counter-protesters at Charlottesville's white nationalist rally -- made clear at the activist's memorial service.
On Wednesday, Susan Bro received a standing ovation as she assured mourners Heather's death only "magnified" her voice -- and that continuing to have dialogues is the only way to "carry Heather's spark through."

She told the crowd of over 1,000 people:
"They tried to kill my child to shut her up -- well, guess what -- you just magnified her… I want this to spread, I don't want this to die. This is just the beginning of Heather's legacy."
The memorial was held Wednesday morning at Charlottesville's Paramount Theater and attended by many including Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Sen. Tim Kaine.
Bro revealed that a public memorial is what her daughter would have wanted, adding Heather "had to have the world involved [in her death], because that's my child. Always has been."
The Charlottesville native encouraged attendees to make Heather's death worthwhile by continuing her fight in advocacy for equal rights. She explained:
"Conversations have to happen. That's the only way we're going to carry Heather's spark through… Find what's wrong, don't ignore it, don't look the other way. Say to yourself, 'What can I do to make a difference?' And that's how you're going to make my child's death worthwhile."
Heather's grandfather Elwood Shrader also spoke at the service, remembering the activist had always shown passion for fairness and justice. Shrader said his granddaughter, who worked as a paralegal, was always willing to understand someone else's viewpoint even if she didn't agree with it.

Heather's father Mark Heyer broke down during his emotional speech. While he also spoke on her lifelong battle for equality, Mark emphasized her fight to put an end to hate, adding:
"She wanted equality. And in this issue of the day of her passing, she wanted to put down hate. And for my part, we just need to stop all this stuff and just forgive each other."
We can't think of anything more commendable than parents at the center of civil unrest preaching about forgiveness at their daughter's memorial. After all, hate only leads to more hate.

We're so, so sad to have to report this -- more deaths are coming in from this weekend's horrific white nationalist demonstrations in Charlottesville, Virginia.
On Saturday evening, two Virginia State Police troopers were killed after their helicopter crashed in Albemarle County near Charlottesville.
The crash took place while they were performing duties monitoring crowd control and public safety issues concerning Saturday's white supremacist demonstrations in the city.
Related: Victim, Terrorist Identified In Saturday's Vehicle Attack
The two troopers have been identified as H. Jay Cullen of Midlothian, Virginia, and Berke M.M. Bates of Quinton, Virginia, both of the Richmond area.
Trooper-Pilot Cullen was 48 years old. Trooper-Pilot Bates was 40.
According to Susan Rowland, the Virginia State Police Public Relations Coordinator, the pair's helicopter sustained some kind of malfunction and crashed in a wooded area near a home just before 5:00 p.m. local time, and added:
"The Bell 407 helicopter was assisting public safety resources with the ongoing situation in Charlottesville."
So sad.
Our thoughts and prayers are with both State Troopers, who died trying to protect Charlottesville from hate, bigotry, and violence.

Good riddance!
As we reported, last week, a "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville against the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue in a nearby park resulted in the death of 32-year-old Heather Heyer when white nationalist James Alex Fields Jr. allegedly plowed his car into a crowd of counterprotesters.

Although the Charlottesville City Council voted this year to remove the statue and rename the location as Emancipation Park, a judge issued a temporary injunction in May preventing Virginia authorities from moving the Confederate symbol for six months.
However, Mayor Mike Signer (pictured above) is calling the shots, and he wants all the monuments -- including the Lee effigy -- to be gone!
The Democrat said in a statement:
"With the terrorist attack, these monuments were transformed from equestrian statues into lightning rods... We can, and we must, respond by denying the Nazis and the KKK and the so-called alt-right the twisted totem they seek... And so for the sake of public safety, public reassurance, to magnify Heather's voice, and to repudiate the pure evil that visited us here, I am calling today for the removal of these Confederate statues from downtown Charlottesville."
Signer recently appeared on CNN where he told Anderson Cooper he has NOT received a call from President Donald Trump regarding the recent violent clashes in his city.

We are still in shock from this weekend's horrific white nationalist demonstrations in Charlottesville, Virginia.
To catch you up, graphic video was released of a Dodge Challenger car deliberately driving into protesters at a peaceful anti-racist rally -- killing and injuring dozens of people. One of the victims was 32-year-old Heather Heyer.
Heyer was attending the counter-protest with two of her friends, Marissa Blair and Marcus Martin, who fortunately (but narrowly) survived the attack.

In fact, Blair was a split second away from being hit by 20-year-old James Fields Jr. before Martin pushed her out of the way.

Jimmy Fallon kicked off Monday night’s (August 14) episode of The Tonight Show with a somber tone and criticism of President Donald Trump and how he’s responded to the violent marches that erupted in Charlottesville, Va., where white nationalists have been clashing with counter-protestors.
“What happened over the weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia, was just disgusting. I was watching the news like everyone else, and you’re seeing Nazi flags and torches and white supremacists, and I was sick to my stomach,” the 42-year-old host emotionally expressed.
Jimmy appeared to be fighting back tears as he talked about his daughters who “don’t know what hate is,” addressing aloud that it’s important for parents, teachers and “leaders who appeal to the best in us” to help children understand.
“The fact that it took the president two days to come out and clearly denounce racists and white supremacists is shameful,” Jimmy added. Watch the full monologue below…

At least three separate rallies were held outside the Midtown building, where demonstrators held signs that read "No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA" and "Not my president."

When Pharrell Williams performed at a charity concert in Charlottesville, no knees were spared in showing solidarity with the protesting NFL players who have started kneeling during the national anthem.
Video: Pittsburgh Steelers Did NOT Come Out For National Anthem
The Happy singer got down on not one, but two knees during his set at Dave Matthews' Concert for Charlottesville: An Evening of Music and Unity on Sunday night, which was held in the wake of last month's deadly white supremacist protests.
Williams, who hails from Virginia, assured that protests of this sort were what America was all about. He planted both knees on the stage, telling the crowd:
"If I want to get on my knees right now for the people of my city, for the people of my state, that's what this flag is for."

Amen!
The producer's gesture was greeted with cheers by the audience at the University of Virginia's Scott Stadium. The concert, which was free for members of the Charlottesville and UVA communities, also featured performances from Justin Timberlake, Ariana Grande, and Chris Stapleton.
Pharrell wasn't the only musician who took a knee this weekend -- Stevie Wonder also took two knees "for America" at the Global Citizen Festival on Saturday.
This silent but powerful gesture began back in April 2016, when Colin Kaepernick refused to stand during the National Anthem to protest how the country "oppresses Black people and people of color."
Now, with Donald Trump seemingly bent on dividing the country in every way possible, Kaepernick's protest has grown into a movement that has exploded beyond the NFL. Based on POTUS's nutty response to it all, we have a feeling half the country will be kneeling by year's end.

People keep expecting to see rock bottom of Donald Trump's presidency. They are forgetting that he is completely incapable of ever admitting he's wrong.
That means he'll never get past his worst moments, including his defense of white supremacists in Charlottesville.
The POTUS was answering press questions on Air Force One on Thursday when a reporter asked simply how his meeting with South Carolina Senator Tim Scott had gone.
Video: Floyd Mayweather Jr. Says Trump Is A 'Real Man' For Pussy-Grabbing Comments!
Scott is a Black Republican who was openly critical -- as was most of the damn country -- of how Trump refused to condemn the Neo-Nazis whose march ended in the death of a counter-protester.
Trump took the moment to reiterate just how right he was that "both sides" had been wrong. He said:
"I think especially in light of the advent of Antifa, if you look at what's going on there. You have some pretty bad dudes on the other side also, and essentially that's what I said. Now, because of what's happened since then with Antifa — you look at really what's happened since Charlottesville, a lot of people are saying and people have actually written, 'Gee, Trump might have a point.' I said, 'You've got some very bad people on the other side also,' which is true."
Ugh.
Uggggggghhhhhhh.
Related: Ivanka Says Influence Over Her Father Is An 'Unrealistic Expectation'
So what is he talking about? What does he mean by "what's happened since Charlottesville"? Don't worry that you missed some big events in the news. You didn't.
It's just Trump's usual propaganda/self-aggrandizement cycle:
1. Trump says something awful with no basis in fact.
2. Trump's supporters, including right wing conspiracy theorists, willfully ignorant supporters, political allies, and yes, Russian Twitter bots, push that message out through made up news stories, memes, and just plain arguing.
3. Trump sees all of this, usually reported on Fox News, and takes it as evidence for what he said in the first place.
4. Trump says "I told you so" a lot.
There isn't some media conspiracy against Trump. The truth is much more simple. Nazis are bad. Trump didn't say that; he was using political correctness to protect his many racist supporters.
And he will keep bringing it up because he just can't stand people saying he was wrong.
You can listen to his statements in full (below)!
